With 23 mainline titles to its name, plus a 24th coming next month in the form of Black Ops 7, plus word that a movie adaptation is in the works, as a franchise, Call of Duty is a well-oiled machine that shows no signs of stopping anytime soon.
But if you ask Glen Schofield, the creator of Dead Space, who also happened to serve as co-director on three Call of Duty titles, despite the massive output, none of the recent games have been particularly good or well-acclaimed. Specifically, none of the games since WWII, the last title he worked on before developing The Callisto Protocol.
In an interview with VideoGamesChronicle, Schofield, in discussing some of the pitfalls that come with COD being under the larger Microsoft umbrella, threw some shade toward recent entries in the first-person shooter franchise.
"I’ll give you one selfish example: I hate doing this, but since I left Sledgehammer, none of the games have been very good. I mean, the last one [Modern Warfare 3 (2023)] was a 50," Schofield said. "They still sell well."
